Lil Mama has sent out an apology via her PR peeps for her actions last night.  In case you missed it, Rapper Lil Mama decided to grace the stage during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards closing performance, in which Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed their first-ever collaboration, “Empire State of Mind.” The America’s Best Dance Crew judge hopped out of her seat and onto the stage during the song’s final seconds and pranced around onstage as if she was the headlining act. Word is, Jay attempted to avoid embarrassing her by tapping her on her leg, but apparently she didn’t get the hint. In her statement, Lil Mama says she was merely caught up in the moment:

“I did not mean any disrespect towards Jay-Z or Alicia Keys,” the statement read. “I admire them and look up to them as role models. ‘Empire State of Mind’ had my emotions running high. In that moment I came up onstage to celebrate my two icons singing about NY.” (source)

Kanye West also issued another apology to Taylor Swift for stealing her joy during the awards show as well.  Now, I’m still standing by my original assessment that this is all a hoax wonderfully crafted by MTV writers, but viewers are angered so much by Kanye seemingly disrespecting a lil country singer, that they’re gonna keep this going for a while. This is ratings gold!! Why not keep up the drama?? Anyway, Kanye hit up his blog yet again to issue a 2nd apology. The new statement says:

I feel like Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents” when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave… That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry.

There’s no word yet on if Taylor will actuall accept his apology (why should she…they all were in on the joke) but she has since been asked how she felt about the incident. She said she doesn’t have any ill-will toward the rapper, 32, of whom she said she was once a fan. “I don’t know him, and I’ve never met him, so…” she said. “I don’t want to start anything because I had a great night tonight.” When asked about how she felt onstage, Taylor revealed:

Well, I was standing on stage because I was really excited because I had just won the award,” she began. “And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn’t so excited anymore after that. I’ve been getting so many text messages and everybody’s been really nice. So I’ve had a really, really fun night. It’s been interesting definitely. It’s definitely been an interesting night. (source)

Well here’s my apology. I apologize for not falling for any of this bullsh*t! I apologize again for wanting to believe that all of this craziness was mere coincidence. I’m even more sorry for posting this funny “A”zz picture that’s been circulating:

I’m so sorry…
